This place honestly has become my home away from home. I'm not much the touristy type, and my job allows me to telework. This is the perfect place, especially for the price, to have a wonderful vacation, or even have one of those Branson-esque periods of just living on a beautiful tropical island. It's closer to town then other reasonably priced hotels, less than a km to the beach, quick ride by motorbike is how I prefer it. Plus Steve, the owner of Chaulty, is just a wonderful guy! He's got his share of stories, and takes care of all the services, including laundry, rides to and from airport, always around when you need him. Importantly, he's also mindful of your time. Never an obligation, he let's you come and go as you please and, although I love his wonderful company, I never feel pressured to get bogged down in conversation - which is not always the case with such intimate hotels. Every chat we have is natural and great. Since my job usually involved a lot of networking and schmoozing, I gotta tell ya, during a vacation, that's a big relief. This place has 6 rooms, a very nice and well maintained pool, and is honestly, my secret awesome spot.
